I don't think the iPhone used in that case had a secure enclave. I think that iPhone was the iPhone 5C[1], which had an A6[2], while the secure enclave wasn't released until A7[3]. Wikipedia has the terms the FBI demanded, and to me they look like demands relating to software directly in iOS, not some other security chip[4]. >Apple is also under the eight ball with the threat of anti-trust regulation and are more incentivised than ever to make deals that turn down the heat on questionable business practices. Questionable business practices impacting competition/monopoly, sure. But I don't see how a backdoor would make anyone think Apple has less of a monopoly. >They lost all credibility as a "security focused" company with their crazy on-device image scanning scheme. Apple publicly announced that in advance. That's different from a secret backdoor.
